“The Shakespearean Jazz Show is a triumphant tour de force that pristinely blends Shakespeare’s poetry with a catchy New Orleans jazz beat. The energy flowing from the stage charged the audience, and left them whooping, hollering, clapping, and cheering for more. The abundant creative energy of the entire ensemble truly makes The Nine Worthies and their The Shakespearean Jazz Show a richly absorbing and deeply satisfying experience.” –BroadwayWorld
Energetic and innovative, The Shakespearean Jazz Show reinvigorates and re-contextualizes Shakespearean performance. Experience how the loose, improvisatory nature of jazz music can free Shakespearean text, allowing the feeling and intent of the words to be expressed in a completely new way.
The Nine Worthies, whose name is born from Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor’s Lost, collaborates as an ensemble, providing an unforgettable parade of Shakespearean sonnets, songs and scenes composed to original New Orleans-style jazz. The show will feature an ensemble of instrumentalist/vocalists, including several Broadway guests.
